Data processor output - Search issue

When we select Data processor output as "Search", then we are getting following Error

Exception: "Cannot determine default entity. CRM_DataprocessorSearch_Form_Search should implement getDefaultEntity()."

What version of CiviCRM are you on? I have tried this with the data processor version 1.8 and civicrm version 5.18.alpha1 and it seems to be working.

I have done in CiviCRM 5.16.4 After creating the data processor as above image then when i go to that menu ( civicrm/dataprocessor_search/contribution_test?reset=1 ) i am getting following error

Yep, I'm on CiviCRM 5.15 (on Drupal 7) and latest master (e8c3fd9) version of extension and have the same error.

@jaapjansma do you think it's something that CiviCRM 5.18 would fix?

This patch seems to fix it (this is an uneducated fix, I have not understood what it's supposed to be doing)

diff --git a/CRM/DataprocessorSearch/Form/Search.php b/CRM/DataprocessorSearch/Form/Search.php
index a4ccf2f..9bf4f63 100644

That patch might be a quick fix but it should return 'Contribution' I do think.

Sorry I am wrong. The contribution is not really needed. I wonder what would happen if you just return an empty string. Because basicly we dont know which entity the search is (if it is any).

This problem is no longer present in the latest master version of dataprocessor (fb3d887c). Closing, thanks @jaapjansma !
